Can my child relay negative message for me?

Communicating Negative Messages

Be careful not to use your child as a message bearer to communicate with your ex-spouse. If your child delivers a negative message for you, your child risks receiving the brunt of the other person's anger. Keep your children out of your domestic squabbles. They will only confuse and upset your child who is trying to be loyal to both of you. Communicate negative messages yourself by whatever means is appropriate, just make sure it does not include your kids.

this is what I am dealing with constantly with my husbands Ex-wife and it is getting so old. She tells there son to "tell daddy this" and ask him questions like " why have you not called or why is your daddy not answering his phone." It has been over a year now and she is the same person she was a year ago.
